Tessel Status - wifi status, uptime, last app push, etc

[eventhough]

Feature suggestion: $ tessel status

This would tell us basic things about the Tessel such as which wifi network the Tessel is currently connected to. What's the IP address of the Tessel device? When was the last time we pushed an app to Tessel? How long has the Tessel been running?

Just basic info about the Tessel device beyond version --board.

We don't have uptime (though it is shown when you push to the board), but we do have the wifi info. If you do a tessel wifi --list it shows which network you're currently connected to as well as the IP, DNS, DHCP, and Gateway.

Is the uptime available programmatically?

Ideally, I could cons up a simple web page and serve that up (possible as json) so that I could query my tessel any time, without having to do it from the cli.

We don't expose the uptime in the JS layers, however we do have a tm_uptime_micro function in C that keeps track. PRs welcome for anyone wanting to expose that up. Most of the C to JS tutorial should cover how to go about it.

@jia Quick question, when we request the time/date from Tessel, where is that time/date being set? Does the Tessel have an internal clock? Thanks!
